Who Are You?

Then Yahweh answered Job from the whirlwind. He said: Who is this who obscures [My] counsel with ignorant words? - Job 38:1-2

Ouch!

After all of Job's questions, God Almighty had a question for Job. Basically, it was, "Who are you?" Job had seemingly purported that God's plan and purposes were a little awry because he (Job) had personally suffered so much for no discernible reason. I can remember a time (or two (ok, maybe three) when I have done the same thing and heard God ask me the same question!

Who are you?

Have you ever resisted God's plan? Did that resistance rise up because your personal plans were being waylaid or circumvented? Trust the Lord. He is sovereign. Ask Him the same question that he asked Job, "Who are You?" And He will respond, "I AM GOD."

And the Devil did grin, for his darling sin is pride that apes humility. - Samuel Taylor Coleridge
